Half-Price Sale: Polychrome Heroics
This week, the poetry of Polychrome Heroics is on sale for half price from Monday, August 15 through Sunday, August 21. This series is superhero fantasy. It features themes of heroism, coming of age, diversity, identity kink, family of choice, friendship, and cultural engineering. Sale prices range from $10 to $254, so hopefully there will be something for everyone. There are three open epics at present, all in Polychrome Heroics, so I'd rather not open another unless you've totally got your heart set on it. If someone finishes an epic and opens a new slot, I'll let you know.
We are repeating the special discount for purchases of $100 or more, in which you get poetry at 25% of its original price instead of 50%. (Note that this increases the amount of poetry you get, rather than reducing the amount of money spent; the point is to get this stuff off of my desk. Yes, I can afford it.) That size of donation also makes you a k-fan which comes with some other perks, like a year-end collection of a poetic series. If several folks want to bundle their orders to make the $100 threshold and have one person send it all, that's okay; you'll get the discount and I'll list all your names as donors, but you'll have to decide amongst you who gets the k-fan credit.
Some of the poems are in sequence of related action, so in places there are prerequisites before a poem can be published. They can be sponsored at any time, just might have to wait for publication until something else gets posted first. Those are marked accordingly. I have also made lists of poems which unlock sequels, and poems which have prerequisites.
Linkback perk: The following poems have verses left to reveal. Boost the signal for this half-price sale and tell me which poem you want to extend.
" Unfamiliar Feelings"
"The Tornado Blew Away"
" Tour Guides for All of Knowledge"
About characters and storylines: The storylines feature multiple characters, so if you want poems about ONE specific character, look closely. The thumbnail descriptions here give some indication who features in each poem. The storyline pages are adding precise, complete information about which characters appear in each poem. If you need more than what's already visible, you can ask me.
About timing: If you want maximum choice, shop early. We usually send a batch of things to my parents near the end of a sale.
Before placing your order, please check this sale page to see what is still unsold! I will try to update the page as things sell, and it's likely to be the case that some poems will be marked SOLD before appearing in posts. People often buy things in batches, which means that selling gets ahead of posting. Also sometimes people ask for the same thing at the same time, so that not all overlaps are preventable. If you have alternate instructions in case you request something that has just sold, please include that in your message; otherwise I'll email you back and ask what you want to do.
Currently available are the following poems. Some are in series chronological order, and others are just kind of stuck wherever, because sequencing Polychrome Heroics is like trying to sequence a dozen different comic book titles from the same publisher. I have fans working on touching up the organization; for now, see the rough draft of the Storyline Guide and thread pages for Antimatter & Stalwart Stan, Aquariana, Berettaflies, Calliope, Cuoio and Chiara, Dr. Infanta, Officer Pink, Pain's Gray, and Shiv.
Poems that unlock sequels: "Tidefeel and Undertowen," "An Ugly Shadow Cast by Myself," "A Man with Decoration," "An Extension of the Personality," "Show a Genuine Concern," "They Really Almost Got Me," "Deceit and Defiance," "Responsibility and Accountability," "To Give the Problem Back," "The Responsibility of Tomorrow," "Through Infirmity of the Flesh," "Good-for-Nothing Thoughts," "The Vindication of Right," "Unless You Are Prepared," "Silent and Vital," "Pilot Soul"
Poems that have prerequisites: "An Ugly Shadow Cast by Myself," "To Do the Brave Things," "An Extension of the Personality," "Small Beautiful Bones," "They Really Almost Got Me," "Shine a Light on It," "Deceit and Defiance," "Responsibility and Accountability," "To Give the Problem Back," "To Try Making Things Right," "Dichroic," "Good-for-Nothing Thoughts," "The Vindication of Right," "To Suffer the Selfishness," "The Best Time for Something Juicy," "Unless You Are Prepared," "Silent and Vital," "The Purpose of Power," "Leaving and Not Knowing," "Eyes Turned Skyward"
Note that "Best Teach It to Dance" and "The Most Serious Occupation of Manhood" occur considerably later than the other poems about Shiv. They would probably make more sense posted after this other stuff, but by now you know the story line enough to post them if you want them that badly.
